Trump Says He’s ‘Getting Rid of Woke’ and Dismisses Copyright Concerns in AI Policy Speech


The remarks, which came during a keynote speech at a summit hosted by the All-In Podcast, follow President Donald Trump's newly released AI Action Plan.

White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks, one of the podcast’s cohosts, has been instrumental in shaping the Trump Administration’s approach to artificial intelligence policy. Earlier this week, senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal introduced a bill that seeks to bar AI companies from training on copyrighted works without permission; Trump’s remarks suggest the White House does not support this approach. It recommends that federal procurement guidelines be updated so that only AI companies that “ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias” are granted government contracts.
